Kindle (A Villanelle -- Abbreviated Form)

Kindle

Strike the match which kindles
Passion within my heart
Wall of flame, ne’er dwindles

Weave from magic spindles
Love’s visions, ne’er depart
Strike the match which kindles

Should love depart, we’re swindled
Why can’t this love restart?
Wall of flame, ne’er dwindles

Scorched soul chambers brindled
Sweet healing, play your part
Strike the match which kindles

Why hope we can rekindle?
Seize this, my counterpart
Wall of flame, ne'er dwindles

Your heart, I have indwelt
You’re precious, my Sweetheart
Strike the match which kindles
Wall of flame, ne’er dwindles
